GasanMamo upgrades private car insurance policy
GasanMamo has launched an updated private car insurance policy, which has eliminated the excess to be paid for drivers aged 25 and over.
Beside redesigning the whole layout and simplifying the wording in order to make it easier to read and understand, the policy offers wider cover than the previous one.
Car hire costs are covered even while waiting for repairs to start, and if a new car is declared a total loss in the first 12 months since first registration, the policy will pay for up to 110 per cent of its original purchase price to have it replaced by one of the same make and model. There are many other benefits relating to overseas use and claims.
